    Absolutely incredible. Easily in the top 5 best albums of 2020, but when it comes to mainstream albums this is definitely number 1.

    Lo que hace Taylor Swift siempre me sorprende, quien diría que su próximo álbum estaría dominado por el alternativo, y aunque cambie de género sus fans siempre la apoyan sin importar que. Su música es de calidad.

    First ever alternative album!!! Finally this day comes!!! I can see shadows of the old days when she sings with guitar playing, with the purest emotions floating through... the more you listen the most places it takes you. This is especially needed in the middle of this pandemic.

    Folklore fits perfectly on quarantine chill mood it is made to be listen on our rooms. Furthermore it is sweet, sad and gives us a fuzzy warm feeling of home which makes listen to this album one of the greater experience I have ever had with music.

    Um álbum lançado na quarenta, que faz a gente aprender a gostar de se preservar e se segurar em casa. Um álbum gostoso de se ouvir. Cheio de sentimentos, folklore não peca em suas letras profundas e marcantes, muito coeso e um triângulo amoroso muito bem descrito. Taylor Swift, você foi muito perspicaz. Eu te amo!

    Folklore mostra a capacidade camaleônica de Taylor na música mainstream. Do Country ao Pop Swift sempre foi uma mestre em composição e produção as quais agora se repetem com maestria em um mais novo gênero. O oitavo álbum da cantora americana é repleto de letras refinadas e melodias contagiantes, da depressiva "seven" a pop "August".

    I honestly love this album so much, and it is by far my favorite album released in 2020. Taylor's songwriting and storytelling on this album is beyond beautiful, and the production and lyrics are to die for. I'm honestly Taylor Swift made an album like this because this really suits her and brings out her incredible songwriting. Honestly one of her best albums. 10/10

    folklore is Taylor Swift's most thoughtful album. Her songwriting skill is something a lot of newer artist should strive for. Truly, a wonderful gift in this pandemic.

    It's a sharp turn to the left for Swift and a fine reminder that she is more than just a gleaming pop phenomenon, but a remarkable songwriter too. [Oct 2020, p.36]

    A modern-folk masterpiece which finds her moving from her previous pop bangers into stunningly simple yet sharp melodies, ‘folklore’ will be going down in Swiftie history as one of her most unexpected, and undoubtedly one of her best.
  3. 60
    These 16 tracks (17 on the deluxe version) play out quite pleasurably in their entirety, the joins between Swift, Dessner and Antonoff ultimately only of niche interest. But Swift’s powerful songs reach their climaxes with bittersweet orchestrations, rather than blows to the solar plexus or a ringing in the ears. Everything hovers; little truly lands.
